We have a two party system, I don’t think that will go away. We’re creatures of habit in the U.S., you could say it’s a tradition of ours. It might be time we changed them, though. So how do we go about changing parties, given that 3rd parties tend to… Continue reading →

“Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist party?” That was a question asked during one of the darker spots of our governmental history. A time, not unlike today, where the appearance or accusation of impropriety could ruin a person – usually to the financial… Continue reading →

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts lately related to the recent tax bill. The posts center around that idea that everyone should go back to a barter system so that nothing is taxed. This is usually supported with the following statement, “If we all barter for goods and services,… Continue reading →
